Absolutely - everything is a compromise, it's just a question of satisfying what's important to you.
Personally, I do most of my observing at f/10, busting globs and such is so easy and comfortable...and then whip out the reducer for some of the more extended objects...it's just great to have one in your arsenal and have such a versatile scope
having said that, I like to keep a small refractor close to hand for the super sized stuff even if it doesn't as much eye time. It has it's turn, Eta Carina, *MCs, sweeping the MW...winter is coming and having both minimises the compromise
As for Majesty factor....well, I guess they had to come up with something to justify the price tag of the Ethos family
